Teaching ↔ Potentialities of Technology1

Universidade do PortoFaculdade de MedicinaIntrodução à Medicina IntroductionIntroduction

• E-learning claims itself as more than a software platform which supports the act of learn at distance, in an easy and fast way, by web; 1

• E-learning is also a way to spread knowledge, allowing its availability at any time, in every place; 1

•Using forums and frequently asked questions (FAQs), it’s possible to share points of view and clear up any possible remaining doubts at the moment. 2


• E-learning can be used in several areas and fields. However, our work will only fall upon the study of its importance on the undergraduate medical teaching; 3


• E-learning comes with solutions and methods, which can be very helpful in supporting doctors with access to the up-to-date medical knowledge and achievements. It allows creation of interactive model of learning, which stimulates knowledge acquisition. 4


• E-learning also provides flexibility in both time and location, while accessing medical curriculum presented online. There is a possibility of collaboration between teachers and students from different universities, which allows exchange of knowledge and experiences. 5


Aims

• To understand the importance of e-learning in undergraduate medical teaching;

• To comprehend the impact that the use of this platform causes in the academical success.
